Good day. This is the Linux newsletter, a weekly recap gratuitously
filled with all sorts of open source development, administration, and
entertainment information. Here's what's new on ONLamp.com this week.

The people behind ONLamp typically don't get their due. With the recent
unveiling of the new Linux
DevCenter design, O'Reilly Network producers Sarah Breen and Miky Vacik
have outdone themselves. Look for Miky's new logo images on the rest of the
ONLamp DevCenters in coming weeks.

This week also sees the final installment in Joe Stump's Advanced Mail
Server series. Building
an Advanced Mail Server, Part 3 explains how to install spam and virus
protection on your new mail server. If you've ever wondered how to install
and configure SpamAssassin or ClamAV, here's your guide. (If you've never
thought about either, it's worth reading this article to find out why they're
both useful.)

To subscribe to the Linux newsletter (or any O'Reilly Network newsletters), visit https://epoch.oreilly.com/account/default.orm and select the newsletters you wish to receive in your user profile (you'll need to log in with your existing O'Reilly Network account -- if you don't yet have an account, you'll need to create one).

The Animation in SDL series also saw a new installment. Bob Pendleton's
Animation
in SDL: OpenGL continues his exploration of drawing techniques. This
week, he ports his examples to use OpenGL drawing primitives. Not only does
this tend to be faster on modern hardware, it makes for much simpler code. In
addition, you'll also get a great introduction to OpenGL concepts. Highly
recommended.

Installing Oracle 9iR2 on Red Hat 9
While Oracle's understandably proud of their Linux support,
Oracle 9i is unsupported on the latest and greatest Red Hat.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work, just that you'll have to do a
little tinkering. Roko Roic demonstrates how to install Oracle
91R2 on Red Hat 9.

Building an Advanced Mail Server, Part 3
While it'd be nice to pretend you never receive spam or viruses,
server-side filters are a necessary evil. In the final installment
of Building an Advanced Mail Server, Joe Stump demonstrates how
to install and configure SpamAssassin and ClamAV.

NeL: The Software Behind the Next Great MMORPG?
Several people have theorized that the best mix of open source
and gaming is to release the engine's source code while keeping
the art, levels, and music restricted. Nevrax is doing just that
with their upcoming Ryzom game. NeL, the engine code, is an
actively-developed open source project. Howard Wen examines the
company and the project and talks with a founder and a lead
developer.
